The Brando

One of the most exclusive luxury resorts in the world, this private island paradise is located on Tetiaroa which is around 30 miles north of Tahiti in French Polynesia. It hosted Barack Obama when he was writing his presidential memoirs as well as Pippa Middleton and her husband James Matthews during their honeymoon.

The island is surrounded by a beautiful lagoon which provides a great location for many activities including scuba diving and snorkelling. Stay in either a one, two or three bedroom villa, all which are situated right on the beach.

With access to the island by private plane, the resort features 35 villas on white-sand beaches frequented by sea turtles, manta rays and exotic birds. The resort was designed to reflect Polynesian lifestyles and culture.
